NFL's Randy Moss set to unveil his new truck team

NFL receiver Randy Moss appears to be serious about competing as a NASCAR team owner in the Craftsman Truck Series.

A source at New Hampshire Motor Speedway told the Herald yesterday that Moss' NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series team, Randy Moss Motorsports, will make its debut on July 19 at Kentucky Speedway. Moss' truck will be No. 81, the jersey number he wears for the Patriots.

Moss has also purchased a major portion of Morgan Dollar Motorsports, a team currently racing in the truck series.

Moss will make the announcement on Thursday at Daytona International Speedway and is expected to have a prominent Sprint Cup driver race his truck in Sparta, Ky.

Here's wishing him more success than the last two NFL players who got into NASCAR as team owners -- Troy Aikman and Roger Staubach.
